Firing in the air by police
Wednesday, 08 Apr, 2009
I WONDER why no one has criticised the obvious violations of the law which took place after the police captured the alleged terrorist(s) at the Police Training Centre in Lahore. The cops fired many bullets in the air in jubilation, completely oblivious of the fact that such bullets, obeying the law of gravity, can hit someone with full force while falling to the ground. Such cases are frequently reported in the press.
Also, after one of the attackers was arrested, the cops beat him mercilessly. This could have resulted in the death of the militant and they would never have been able to get any information out of him. All this reflects badly on our police training methods.
